(b) paragraph (a) operate as a limitation of debate under standing order 142; and

(c) divisions may take place between 1.30 pm and 2 pm until consideration of the bills has concluded.

And I move:

That the question be put.

Nick McKim

Deputy President, I seek your guidance in terms of process. The minister's just moved that the question now be put. We have circulated an amendment to this motion, and I want to move the amendment. The minister did not move that the question be put without amendment, so I submit to you that our amendment is in order and may be moved.

Andrew McLachlan

I don't have the amendment in front of me. I'm advised that I have to put the question that it be put. The question before the Senate is that motion moved by Minister Gallagher be put.

This is the question as put in the chamber, with the name of the member who spoke before the vote. It isn't a summary of the bill or motion.
